Just realized who this account is... Welcome back!
Like seriously, something goes in my mind like "wait I've seen that account a few years back before I had my own", and then realized that, yup, it is.
@UAVMaker I mean, in the movie... So yeah, Alta said something along the lines of "This better blow up, This is massive...", and given how it is destroyed in the movie...
Farewell, may the solar winds be always on your side (sorry I don‘t even know why or how I came up with that, I guess you being an astro-shipwright have something to do with it).
Goodbye and goodluck. You will be forever remembered as one of the greatest astro-shipwrights this community ever had, so godspeed, may you have a bright new chapter in your life.
Just realized... the new tank cannons could replace rockets for this role... And of course, that would also mean automatic grenade launchers and rocket pods would not require 30+ parts just for the ammo.
Potato users of the world, rejoice!
@WarHawk95 Soooo... basically, this thing is a B-17G with an early-war ventral turret, a shorter cockpit with a glass top and without the radio operator's gun?
@TheFantasticTyphoon This is how the GAU-8 Avenger came to Earth!
"... with great thanks to our exterrestrial allies who generously bestowed us with the knowledge of their Avenger rotary cannons, which we soon designed a plane around as a means to wield its unrivaled firepower and unleash it upon our enemies."
@SakuraSaku As in "won't be making any builds within the forseeable future" or "shutting down the account"? I understand that many people have MUCH more important issues to deal with than Simple Planes, but I just sincerely hope that you can keep your account open so that we can see the few yet magnificent builds of yours.
@CoolPeach Wait, no chaffs nor flares? So this jet came straight from the Viet War?
Also, I sincerely wished the ending to be the jet landing on the carrier...
"We are off to outer space / we are leaving mother earth / to save the human race / our star blazers // Searching for a distant star / heading off to Iscandar / leaving all we love behind / who knows what dangers we'll find // We must be strong and brave / for the home we're about to save // If we don't in just one year / mother earth will disappear // Fighting against the Gamilons / we won't stop until we won. // Then we'll return and when we arrive / the earth will survive with our star blazers//"

I can say with confidence I was among those who reported the bot without clogging up the comment section. I know it might be funny to you, but please, keep it professional and don't force us to see even more spam just because you're personally bored, pretty please?
@Speedhunter The "flying flapjack" is the Vought XF5U, and the "flying pancake" is the Vought V-173; and TBPH when I said "Luftwaffle" this is what I had in mind...
I never knew the word "Gyatt" had any other meaning beyond a rare surname and this particular ship... Now I knew, and somehow I lost even more faith in humanity even though I thought I've got none left to lose...
@Kendog84 @Leviatham
My personal recommendation? if you're making an ASW torp, just use a rocket as the basis. In real life, ship-launched ASW torpedoes carry less than 100lb (45kg) of explosives, while those heavy sub-launched keelbreakers often carry 650lb (250kg) or more... so I guess you can just strap a dozen (deactivated) rockets to the torp and call it a day?
@Kendog84
The cannon trick is something used widely by @Mintlynx, which is a cannon {Cannon-1} part with {projectileLifetime} or {fuseInput} set to zero, {projectileType} set to explosive, plus a high {explosionScalar} or {diameter} (or both) to cause a massive explosion when the shell is fired (cannon projectiles will disappear underwater too, but not if they detonate before the game engine tells it to despawn). The issue is it's all but granted to be command-detonation and if the toepedo have already impacted the target the cannon might break off from the impact, rendering it a dud.
You can make a custom missile that flies straight and doesn't need a target (maybe this is what you mean by the cannon trick?), but it will be less reliable (it will explode upon contact with a plane, but can go through terrain sometimes).
I think I know what you're talking about, but I'm also pretty sure the missile will keep its tracking and proximity detonation assuming you're using fire-and-forget missiles like the Inferno {Missile-Ground-1}, Cleaver {Missile-Ground-2}, or Interceptor {Missle-Long-1}.
Either way, here is my tutorial on how to make such missiles, although given the parameter of "submarine torpedoes" I doubt missiles would be that useful given they disappear under water.
@Weisbrich
Napier Sabre engines? Those things are MASSIVE! And you used two of them?! No wonder why the airframe starts to look like the good ol' jug! Yeah, I'm a P-47 fan, and when I see the rear cockpit my first instinct was literally "wait that jug be lookin' sus"...
.
..
... and the P-47 only used a 2000hp engine. Your monsters managed to reach the 6750hp benchmark.
.
..
... and why the "scissor lift" gun pod? And what happened to just loading the bombs under the wings (or the fuselage) like civilized people?
.
.
... and bonus nitpicking time™: the pitch authority feels a bit lacking for a plane of its size, and there are no gun sights. Still, the overall build quality is remarkable - it wouldn't look out of place among the portfolio of a plat, so for a first timer? It's simply marvelous.
.
..
... I'm now considering building a plane inspired by this and based on my existing prototype, a mangled P-47 with contra-rotating props and a Russian(?)/German(?) style canopy. I will credit you if I finally overcame my procrastination and started building it.
.
..
... and sorry for rambling.
ZOGGIN' BOOTIFUL, BOSS!
.
..
... The engine arrangement would have the crew chief ranting and raving about not being paid enough, but everything else? Perfection.

I'd see it as less "offensive" and more "something trolls will capitalize on"... Whenever there's anything vaguely related to the war uploaded there's a bunch of "strongly opinionated people" (read: assorted retards, flamers, and trolls) getting heated over nothing - hells, back in 2018, two walking anime characters (v959rY "Phoebe" and pPVIyL "Camille") were all it took to plunge the entire comment section into a cesspool of toxic arsehattery, with v959rY "Phoebe" taken down and restored more than once... for literally being an original anime-style character. Yeah, there are always people who will intentionally try to start arguments online for their own twisted gratification, which, to be perfectly honest, sucks.
